Winemaker's Notes:

"Exotic notes of candied orange peel, cinnamon and kirsch mark this intense rosé, which stays lightweight and elegant, with a silky texture and a lingering aftertaste of dried berry and spice...92" WS 12/10

This is perfect for Valentine's Day! This has always been one of my favorite Rose Champagnes. One because it tastes fantastic and two because it is priced relatively low compared to other Rose Champagnes on the market. There is simply nothing like the this cuvee from Nicolas Feuillatte. Made from 90% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with a dollop of Chardonnay. This wine explodes in the glass with aromas of strawberry, raspberry and citrus. The red berry flavors meld perfectly with the fine bubbles. Enjoy this with your special someone with some nice dark chocolate and mild cheeses.

With 90% of this wine produced from pinot noir and pinot meunier, the color is more salmon than pink; the nose is dominated by red berry fruit , and yeasty hints; on the palate, it is refreshingly dry with the fruit characteristics echoing the nose, with good weight and luscious notes; the finish is long and lingering.

Firm, with a lively bead and a minerally base note mixing with flavors of grilled plum, white raspberry, biscuit and candied orange zest. Ground ginger and white pepper accents linger on the finish. Drink now through 2017.

Deep pink. Rich cherry and strawberry on the nose, with a suggestion of floral honey. Dense cherry flavor is braced by firm, zesty acidity, giving the wine an impression of power with elegance. Finishes with fresh, juicy red fruit flavors and good length.

The color alone sets this wine apart from its peers; it's what can only be called Barbie doll pink. Fresh and foamy, it spurts out of the bottle as if to say "Par-tay!" Fruity and flavorful, it carries hints of rose petals, citrus zest and cherry Lifesavers.

Bright pale pink color with highlights of darker pink. Fruity notes on the nose of raspberry, strawberry and red plum. Welcoming flavors of red cherry, raspberry and hazelnuts provide a complex and full palate. Long finish with well-balanced flavors and even a slight touch of creaminess at the end. Typical red Pinot.
